🍩🍑 who knew a peach could be a donut!? 🙆🏽♀️
Benefits of Donut Peaches vs Regular
Easier on digestion
• Lower perceived acidity → often gentler for sensitive stomachs
• Softer flesh and less fibrous skin than many round peaches
Blood-sugar friendly (for a fruit)
• Typically slightly lower in sugar per fruit than large round peaches
• Higher skin-to-flesh ratio → more polyphenols that slow glucose absorption
Rich in gut-supporting compounds
• Pectin fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria → supports butyrate production
• Polyphenols help strengthen the gut lining and reduce inflammation
Hydrating + mineral support
• ~85–88% water
• Provides potassium and vitamin C → supports cellular hydration and stress balance
Hormone-friendly
• Naturally low in fructose compared to many fruits
• Less likely to spike insulin when paired with protein or eaten after a meal
💛☀️🩷Nelli’s Take away Tip
For blood sugar + digestion:
• Pair donut peaches with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or chia
• Or eat after a protein-rich meal rather than alone
For parasympathetic digestion:
• Eat slowly, ripe, and at room temperature 🍑
